The Progress of NationsThe day will come when nations will be judged not by their military or economic strength nor by the splendour of their capital cities and
public buildings but by the well-being of their peoples: by their levels of health, nutrition and education; by their opportunities to earn
a fair reward for their labours; by their ability to participate in the decisions that affect their lives; by the respect that is shown for
their civil and political liberties; by the provision that is made for those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged; and by the protection that
is afforded to the growing minds and bodies of their children The Progress of Nations, published annually by the United Nations Children's Fund,
is a contribution towards that day.

aware of potential risks and to provide appropriate advice, whether this concerns recommended vaccinations, protection against insects and
other disease vectors, or safety in different environmental settings.

Health Information For All by 2015
Every day, tens of thousands of children, women and men die needlessly for want of

representing 1800 organisations in 157 countries worldwide.
Members include health workers, publishers, librarians, information
technologists, researchers, social scientists, journalists, policy-makers

THEHUNGERPROJECT

The Hunger Project
is a strategic organization and global movement committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, they empower local people to create lasting society-wide progress in health,
education, nutrition and family incomes. They apply a two-prong strategy: mobilizing grassroots self-reliant action, and mobilizing
local leadership to clear away obstacles to enable grassroots action to succeed. Their highest priority is the empowerment of women. Women bear primary responsibility for family health, education and nutrition – yet, by
tradition, culture and law they are denied the means, information and freedom of action to fulfill their responsibility. The Hunger Project
